ive been off opiates for a week and im still having real bad RLS and recently started having anxiety attacks...all the other icky w/d symptoms have passed... how long do i have to deal with this? and what can i do to relieve the problems w\ my legs??? my doctor prescribed xanax to me - i have been completely honest with my doctor and have gone thru w/d process on my own...any recommendations or an estimate on how long im going to have rls and anxiety attacks?? i was progressively taking opiates for 4yrs...up to 40mg oxycontin/day..

I think the anxiety after w/d is the worst. Be careful with the Xanax for anxiety... after using it for two weeks or so can be very addicting and then you have to start a withdrawal process from that as well.

I was on Xanax about 6-months before stopping the Hydros.. came off the Hydros ... none for 30+ days... but I can't seem to do well w/the Xanax at this point. The Anxiety is overwhelming at times.

But I will tell you ... the busier I am (and I still am at a point where I don't feel like being busy) the better off I am.

I have to talk myself into doing EVERYTHING. So In work, and socially for the most part I just "pretend" I'm OK... and usually make it that way. It's when I isolate that it really gets to me.
